Read our Asthma research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different approaches to help people with moderate to severe asthma become more physically active. One group will do supervised aerobic exercise on a treadmill twice a week, while the other group will attend a behavioral coaching program once a week that teaches about asthma and the benefits of activity. Both programs last 8 weeks and aim to improve how well your asthma is controlled.
Many people with asthma avoid exercise because they're worried it will trigger symptoms, but staying inactive can actually make asthma worse. This trial wants to find out which approach—direct supervised exercise or coaching that helps you gradually increase activity—works better to help patients safely become more active and control their asthma.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. If you're in the exercise group, you'll come to the hospital twice a week for 8 weeks to walk or run on a treadmill for 45 minutes each session (including warm-up and cool-down). If you're in the coaching group, you'll attend one session per week for 8 weeks where you'll learn about asthma and get support to gradually increase your physical activity. Either way, you'll have tests before and after the program to see how your asthma and fitness have improved.
